Window Tint

[Sno]

Can i get this done at any auto store? like Pep Boys? or do i have to go to a special shop... :huh: for those of you in PA... where did you go to get it done?

[cutelilcntrygrl]

You gotta go to a tinting shop. Pep boys is just parts and stuff like that, right?

[jackal2000]

check the phone book for places near you

[mobs241]

most places that sell sterios like audio express or custom sounds will tint windows. theres also other shops.
theres a lot of places that do it just shop around.
your prob looking at anywhere from 125-250 if you have a 4 door and you tint all windows.

That is what I was gonna say. You can also just go to a auto glass shop they should beable to do it also. Here is a link to actaul map with the state laws printed on it for each state hope it helps both of you. http://www.solargard.com/Assets/PDFs/Techn...inting_Laws.pdf (http://www.solargard.com/Assets/PDFs/Technical_Docs/State_Tinting_Laws.pdf)

VLT = visible light transmission

I have 5% on my rear glass. That blocks 95% of the light.

I got mine done in Brighton for just less than $200 cash.

As far as legality:
Windshield: Any tint has to be above the AS-1 line.
Front windows: Only allowed a 4" strip from the top of the window.
Back windows and rear window: Any tint.
All tint: Not more than 35% reflectivity. So none of the mirror stuff.

Tint is legal with a prescription.

Just fyi, state cops in Detroit have a hard on for tinted cars. I got a ticket on I-75 by Ecorse.

[doubleN0alero]

I got 35% on mine, and have had it on this car for 6 months and my other alero for 4 years and never had any problems...only once did i get pulled over and that was in my home town until they realized it was me...cost was $200

[misslindseysue]

Oh, I had it on mine for over 6 months with no problems, 'till I drove it downtown. I got out of the ticket (and $110 fine) by getting a prescription. That was a few months ago and I haven't had any problems since, it's just the state boys in Detroit.
